mote than were eves given before at an election ; a
vote larger, I believe, than its whole population at
the last census, including women and children.—
This case is so extraordinary as to require explana
tion. If this cum of votes above the usual am
ount were illegal, as I have no doubt they were,
then their exclusion, to say nothing of frauds corn
mated elsewhere, would have given Mr. Clay the
vote of that State. Even in Georgia we have
strong reason to believe we were defeated by fraud.
In that State, I understand that voters under sixty
years of age pay by law a poll-tax; all over that
age who possess property, are likewise obliged to
pay a tax , so that the t2x books kept and returned
would give all the voters except the paupers above
sixty. Taking these books as a guide, there were
15,944 more votes than there appear to be voters.
But the census show. that the number of miller,
above sixty is a little more than three per cent. of
the population Deducting four per cent. for these,
there would still remain 9,502 votes the t cannot
be accounted for. Most of this occurs i.n the Dem
ocratic counties. As an example, I will read an
extract from a highly respectable journal published
jnthat State—The Milledgveille Journal.
MORE FACTS CONNECTED WITH THE ABOVE.-
The counties of Forsyth, Lunt pkin, liabersharn ,
and Franklin, are all nearly in a line connected
with each other. Habersham joins Franklin, Lump
kin joins Habersham, and Forsyth joins Lumpkin
These four counties return to the Camptrol
er General's Office 3,080 votes. Add to this four
per cent. (which is a large estimate) for men over
sixty years of age, and not liable to be returned,
but authorized to vote, and there would be 3,203
voters. At the late election these same counties
gave Mr. Polk 4,011, and Mr. Clay I,B2l—in all
5,835 votes and a majority for Polk of 2,193.
Deduct from the aggregate vote of 5,835, 3,203, the
number of votes returned on the tax-book and men
over age, and it will be seen that there are 2,632
voters of which no account is or can be given, and
WHO ARE NOT LEGALLY ENTITLED TO NOTE!
"But let us pursue this line a little further :--
Madison and Elbert join Franklin, Lincoln joins
Elbert, and Columbia joins Lincoln. These four
counties return to the Comptroller General's Of
fice 2,986 voters. Add to this, as above, four per
cent. for men over age, and there would be 3,105
voters. At the late election these same counties
gave Mr Clay 2,124 and Mr. Polk 999—in all
3,123 voters, and a majority for Mr. Clay of 1,-
125. Take the voters returned by the Tax Re
ceiver with the per cent. for men over 60 and the
votes given, and it will be seen that while the first
four counties have given two thousand six hun
dred and thirty-two votes more than can be accoun
ted for, by the same information and estimate the
four have only given eighteen more than they are
entitled to. Elbert county, which gave 813 out of
1,125 majority for Clay, and which gave the lar
gest majority in the State, voted only thirty seven
more than is returned on the tax-book; add the
four per cent. for men over age, and it will be seen
that she voted five less than she was entitled to.
"The last mentioned counties are Whig corm
ties; the first are Democratic, which makes the
fairest showing? No one can hesitate in his an
swer. Neither shall we hesitate to say that, in
our opinion, Hamer CLOT has received a majority
of the legal votes of the State of Georgia."
If this result was produced by the voting of men
under age or other frauds in the Democratic coun
ties, it is sufficient without looking any further to
account for our defeat in that State, for the majori
ty against us was only two thousand.
The four State. of New York, Pennsylvania,
Louisiana, and Georgia, give eighty electoral votes.
Added to Mr. Clay's vote of one hundred and five,
and he would have one hundred and ninety-three
votes, while James K. Polk would be left with only
eighty-two. It is not strange, therefore, that our
opponents should appear so moderate after the
victory. It is not strange that they should not re
joice. No wonder some of them seem astounded
at the result. Too many of them know by what
means this result was achieved. Did Macbeth re
joice when he looked at the crown and sceptre of
the murdered Duncan? They look to the past
with pain, to the future with dread.
This examination, Mr. Speaker, brings us irre.
sistably to the conclusion, not merely that the Whig
measures of policy are approved by a vast major
ity of the people of the Union, but that as a party,
the Whigs are greatly the strongest in the country.
So strong are they that nothing but a combina
tion of all these adverse influences could have de.
feated us. Yes, sir, if any one of several of them
had been wasting, we should still have triumphed,
and had the election been conducted as our form of
Government presupposes, that is fairly and honor
ably, Mr. Clay's majority would have been over-
whelming.
Why, then, is it, sir, since the past cannot be re
called, do I recur to these things? It is because I
am satisfied, after a survey of the battle-field, that
in future a different result may be produced. Yes,
sir, if •se do our duty to the country, these evils
may be averted sufficiently at least for all practica
ble purposes. A century may pass away before
the country is afflicted with such another accident
as the present Executive.
The course of the abolition party has stripped
them of much of their balance, by bringing them
into general contempt even at the North. Be
sides, their late movements will array a strong in
fluence against them in other quarters, more than
enough to counterbalance their strength. And if
the foreign Catholics. or foreigners generally, con
tinue banded together with a view of controlling the
elections of this country, there will be aroused an
tagonist feelings in the hearts dull true Anser•cans,
which will sweep away the party to which they
have attached themselves. But, air, I wish it die
tinctly understood that I am for no Native Ameri
can party ; I care not whether a man be born under
the icy zone that girts the pole or in the torrid clime
where the morning sun is first sell, or at the place
of its going down, if he comes to this lend, and,
after the residence prescnbed by law and in the
manner provided, take. the oath to support the
Constitution, and adopts with it an American heart,
American feeling., determining them to uphold and
defend the rights and interests of this country
against all others, that man will I take by the hand
and welcome and welcome as an American citizen
should be by his fellows. I wish however, to meet
no British Whig, no French Whig, no man, in
short, who places the interests or honor of another
nation in the scale against those of this, or who re
sides among us with feelings alien to our Govern
ment or its institutions. i desire to see the desti
nies of our country con'aolled in future as they have
in the main beer, heretofore, by the great American
Whig party. By that party and its genuine re
publican vinciples I am willing to stand or full.
It is 'our duty, as far as it may be in our power,
by %OA° legislation to prevent fraudulent natutaliza
tio'a and illegal voting. But this alone will not be
'sufficient to ensure its success. Even though we
should be able to see that the combination of cir
cumstances, to which our defeat was owing in the
present instance, will not occur again, yet it must
be remembered that there will be other factions to
be moved and new humbugs invented. It is abso
lutely necessary that the Whigs should be com
pletely organized as a party, not to deceive the con
fiding, the credulous, or the ignorant, but to protect
them from imposition ; not to practice frauds, but to
prevent them in our adversaries. Had we adopted
a proper system of organization, we should have
triumphed in spite of all the adverse influences re
ferred to. To accomplish this will, I know, re
quire morn labor than many aro willing to undergo.
It was a frequent complaint of Cicero that in his
day the republic was always attacked with more zeal
than it was defended ; and with ua, it is a frequent
boast of our adversaries that while the Whigs are
talking they are working. But unless we make up
our minds to undergo the necessary exertions, our
political system will soon become the mast corrupt,
and, by consequence, the most despotic on earth.—
Such a Government will, by its heavy taxation,
ware, &c., impose on us burdens, much more into
lerable than would be the effort necessary to pre
serve our liberties. By a proper system of organi
zation we shall always triumph, because our pnnci
pies are those upon which this great Republic has
heretofore been successfully and prosperously go
verned ; and the great mass of our population, being
honest and patriotic, will with proper lights, sustain
them.
What, then, Mr. Speaker, is the prospect before I
us? Your party having come into power, your
situation is altogether different from what it was in
the late contest. You must show your hand by
your acts, not by mere words. Why, sir, we never
could have beaten Mr. Van Buren in 1840, if we
had had only his declarations of principle to contend
against. Your situation is doubly embarrassing,
from the duplicity which, as a party you practiced
to obtain power. As far as measures alone are
concerned, you might, I grant, easily unite. But
there is to be a struggle for pre-eminence of place,
and measures will be the pivots on which party
evolutions will turn. Ostensibly the contest may
be about the annexation of Texas and the tariff,
because certain prominent men are connected in
public estimation with particular sides of these
questions.
Inasmuch, therefore, as the action of the majority
on these questions will be regarded as the index of
the rising or sinking of the fortunes of particular
cliques, great importance may be attached to the
decision of these questions of a party whose mern
bers are known generally to have decided partially
for the strongest side. The Northern portion of
the Imo is the more numerous, the stronger in the
counti, and by far the more skilful in party tactics-
But then it was solely owing to the exertions of the
southern selection that Mr. Van Buren was set aside
and Mr. Polk nominated; and can he be so un
grateful as to turn his back on those to whom he
owes his elevation? If the Northern wing can get
the offices, their consciences will ho quieted as to
the extension of slavery, and they will go for the
annexation of Texas. But, in that event the tariff
will become intollerable to the South, and Mr. Cal
houn's going out of office will be the signal for
another nullification agitation, for which Mr. Polk
has very little appetite; not being considered remar
kable for nerve in trying times.
As I have had occasion to allude to John C. Cal
houn, I take it upon myself to say, that, looking at his
course for more than twelve years with the excep.
lion of a few years after 1837, when he hoped from
his new connexion with the Democratic party that
he might become President of all the United States
say, sir, that his course, whether considered
with reference to the tariff and nullification, to agi
tation on the subject of abolition and slavery, or to
his mode of managing the Texas question, is pre
cisely that which a man of ordinary sagacity would
take who designed to effect a dissolution of the
Union. And that such is his object can only be
denied by those who hold him insane. As it was
said that Julius Caesar went forward soberly and
steadily to the ruin of the Republic, so has John C.
Calhoun gone on coolly and deliberately to break
up the Union and substitute a Southern Confede
racy. If his being kept in office by Mr. Polk should
have the elrect of inducing him to abandon those
views, instead of using his official station and influ
' ence to promote them, then for the sake of the re
pose of the country, I should be pleased to see him
retained. It is my opinion that he will be dis
tinguished from his present colleagees in the Cabi
i net, and retained for a time, ostensibly to finish
pending negotiations. He will then, by intrigue,
or it may be by public opinion, be forced out, and
will go into honorable exile at a foreign Court, or
retire, like Cincinnatus, to his plough, or possibly
come back to the Senate to agitate. While he is in
office, too, as many of his peculiar followers will be
served by offices as may be needed to secure the
support of the chivalry" to the Administration.
I am here reminded, sir, that some of these gen
tlemen have expressed strong hopes that they will
be able to overrun and carry off with them the old
North State; and I learn that a great effort is to be
made by the combined energies of the party for that
purpose. But I can tell those gentlemen that J. C.
Calhoun and his clique have never had the ear of
North Carolina. In 1832, with great unanimity,
I elle took ground against them and for the Union,
and she is kill for it. She is also a genuine Whig
State. She was Whig in 1775, when she made
the first declaration of independence, and her sons
still in their hearts cherish and will maintain the
principles of their fathers. Tennessee, too, is Whig,
I saw something of the canvass there during the
summer. There were directed against her the com
bined influences of Texas, the Tariff, Jackson, and
Polk, backed by the powerful organization which I
have described, and under it she has borne up all
nobly. There is a State to be depended on in tines
of trial. On her a timid man might risk his life, or
a brave one trust his honor. Louisiana is Whig
to-day, fairly tried. So, too, is Georgia; or, if bent
a moment by the blast, unbroken her banner will
resume its place in the Whig line. The Whigs
I are firm every where. The means used to defeat
ue strengthen us. The fall, like that of Antreus, w ill
give redoubled vigor and energy. The terrible ca
lamity sustained will rouse the nation to avert its
consequences. But we must endeavor so to tri
umph that the fruits of victory will not be lost.--
Our adversaries have sot a most lamentable exam
ple. Instead of selecting a man high in the confi
dence of the country, and rewarding him for his
services, they have clothed a mere man of straw,
one so unknown that he might be run on opposite
principles in different sections. In thus demonstra
ting the availability of such a man, they have done
all in their power to discourage statesman-like emi
nence and patriotism. Our candidate was defeated
because he was too honest, too open, and too manly
to conceal his opinions. Gentlemen on the other
side of the House may exult in the event, but they
know that he was overthrown in no fair or manly
contest. It was the Hector of Shakspeare, surroun
ded and impaled by myrmidons—
"The earth that bears him dead bears net alive so
stout."
Many bright eyes owl manly hearts mourn over
him, but he needs it not:
~ Wo! unto us, not him, for he rade well."
Instead of the dark cypress there will wave over him
the bright green laurels of glory, and they will be
come greener and brighter as centuries roll on. But
we shall often want his sagacious head, his eloquent
tongue, and heart of fire. Since he came on the
stage of action, in every cricie,
. One blast upon his bugle horn
Was worth a thousand men."
Sir, it is not talent alone that makes the great
statesman. There must be added a high intellect,
a paramount devotion of country, a determination
to sacrifice every thing ofself to promote its advance
ment. Sir, no statesman, no man ever felt this
principle in a greater degree than Henry Clay.—
And, till life shall fade, he will stand erect, with a
spirit unbroken, in the front rank of those who rally
around the Constitution and the Union.
If he bears himself well, so does his party. I de
clare, sir, I have seen nothing, I have beard of noth
ing, I have read of nothing like it. Whether it be
a voice from the mountains of my own district, or
from the densely populated cities of the North, it
breathes the same spirit. I have seen no one Whig
who regretted his course; no one who would not
with rather be in exile with Brutus than triumphing
Antony; no one who will not go into the battle again
with more ardor than ho went into the former tic.
Lion. Considering its numbers, so help me God,l
believe there has existed not upon earth a party so
noble. If it cannot preserve this great country,
then, sir, you may burn the Constitution, for it is
worthiest.
GC'r The New York Evening Post denounces
the annexation resolution in strong language. In
the first place," says the Post, " the 36th parallel
of latitude is taken as the line above which free
states are to exist. But Texas does not reach that
line by at least a hundred and fifty miles ! not
ono square foot of territory, north of the 36th par
allel—not one square foot of free territory—will be
acquired by the annexation of Texas, on the basis
of this bill. In regard to the vast territory lying
i south of the line—in other words, the whole of
Texas proper—a similar fraud is practiced. The
five states as large as New York, which may be
carved out of this territory, are to ho annexed on a
free or slave basis, according as they see fit them
selves ! Texas is, and must be peopled almost ex
clusive by slaveholders—by emigrants from the
southern and south western states ; and thus, ac
cording to this very fair plan, after being, by this
bill, peopled by slaveholders, and well stocked with
slaves, the new states aro to have the option left
them of coming into the Union as free or as slave
states. In a word, by this bill five slave states are
added to this confederacy. So gross an outrage has
not been perpetrated since the formation of the
government."

Anti-Division Meeting.
A large and respectable meeting of the people of
this borough and adjacent townships was held in
the old Court House, in this borough, on last
Saturday night, for the purpose of giving an expres
sion of opinion against the proposed division of
this county. The proceedings will be found in
another part of to-day's paper ; and we invite the
attention of our readers to them ; and specially com
mend the report of the committee to the members of
the Legislature. We wish the proceedings could
have been accompanied by the forcible and eloquent
remarks of ISAAC Pim., Esq., who addressed the
meeting. He gave a striking exposition of the ru
inous policy of cutting up the State into small
counties for the gratification of speculators.
Gov. Shunk and the State Finances.
On the 29th ult., while the Senate had the bill
providing for the payment of the February interest
under consideration, the Governor sent in a mes
sage, giving a statement of the finances of the Com
monwealth, greatly differing from those furnished,
by the late Governor and the late Treasurer.
Gov. Shunk said If I am correct in the views
which I have taken, it is apparent that WE ARE
NOT YET PREPARED TO RESUME THE
PAYMENT OF OUR INTEREST IN FULL ,
and continue the payment thereof punctually
hereafter."
We are pleased to say that this message found no
favor with either branch of the Legislature. The
Senate passed the interest bill promptly and unani
mously. What! is Shuck worse than Porter?
Has not the Legislature virtually said so ?
But is any one surprised at this message? Does
not an Administration composed of such veterans
as <.Old Shunk," Jesse Miller, Henry Petrekin,
James R. Snowden & Co., who have been in office
all their lives, know that there is fetter picking in a
full than in an empty treasury, or more and better
sucking at a fat fax than at a lean one, as the fable
has it.
Good News.---February Interest.
pjThe Telegraph of the lot inst. says:—lt
gives us pleasure to state that the bill providing for
the payment of the February interest, on the
State loans, passed the Senate yesterday unani
mously, and the amendments of that body were
promptly and unanimously concurred in by the
House. The bill having then been presented to
the Governor, who finding not a vote against it,
gave it his signature, and it became a law.
THE ANNEXATION OF TEXAS.
The resolution of the Hon. Milton Brown, of
Tennessee, providing for the Annexation of
Texas and the United States passed the House of
Representatives, on Saturday the 25th ult., by a
vote of 120 to 98. We give the resolution below,
by which it will be seen that Texas may be admit
ted as a Stale; that this Government shall adjust
all questions of boundary, &c.; that Texas shall
surrender to the United States all her public edifi
ces, harbors, fortifications, navy yards, &c. &c.;
that Texas is to retain her funds, lands, and dues
of every kind; and shall discharge her own debts
and liabilities; that new States may be formed out
of the territory of Texas hereafter, and admitted
into the Union with or without slavery, as the peo
ple of each State may desire; and that in such State
or States as may he formed out of said territory
north of the Missouri Compromise line, slavery
shall be prohibited.
This was perhaps the least objectionable plan of
annexation submitted to Congress. The Senate
will probably act upon it this week. All is doubt
and uncertainty as to the fate of the resolution
in the Senate. Various and contradictory opinions
are expressed by Washington letter writers. For
our own part, we cannot believe that the Senate of
the United States, which has heretofore proved the
bulwark of our safety, will now trample upon the
Constitution, surrender the Treaty-making power
lodged with them, and open the door to future Con
gresses to play fast and loose in matters of so much
moment.
As for Texas herself, it is supposed she will ne
ver consent to Annexation on such terms, nor in
deed upon any other terms which will leave her to
pay her own enormous debts.

Jot xx REsoramorr,declaring the terms on which
Congrees will admit Texas into the Union as a
State :
Resolved, &e., That Congress doth consent that
the territory properly included within and rightfully
belonging to the republic of Texas, may be erected
into a new State, to be called the State of Texas,
with a republican form of government, to be adop
ted by the people of said republic by deputies in
convention assembled, with the consent of the ex
isting government, in order that the same may be
admitted as ono of the States of this Union.
SECTION 2. And be it further remembered, that
the foregoing consent of Congress is given upon the
following conditions, and with the following guar.
antees, to wit : . _
First. Said State to be formed, subject to the ad
justment by this Government of all questions of
boundary that may arise with other Governments;
and the constitution thereof, with the proper evi
dence of its adoption by the people of said Repub
lic of Texas, shall be transmitted to the President
of the United States, to be laid before Congress for
its final action, on or before the first day of January,
1846.
Second. Said State, when admitted into the
Union, after ceding to the United States all mines.
salt lakes and springs, and also all public edifices,
fortifications, barracks, ports and harbors, navy and
navy yards, docks, magazines, arms, armaments,
and all other property and means pertaining to the
public defence, belonging to said Republic of Texas,
shall retain all the public funds, debts, taxes and
dues of every kind which may belong to, or be due
and owing said Republic; and shall also retain all
the vacant and unappropriated lands lying within
